REMARKS OF cus HALL, GENERAL SECRETARY OF THE ’ COMMUNIST ‘PARTY, USA, ON LACK OF COMMUNICATION
BETWEEN COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE SOVIET UNION AND COMMUNIST PARTY, USA
gt
In September and October, 1966, Gus Hall, General |
| Secretary, Communist Party, USA (CP, USA), while in Moscow,
USSR, held some discussions with leading representatives of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). At the
time, Hall complained that in the past the CP, USA had lacked advance. information and communication from the CPSU on certain matters and events which had embarrassed him and the CP, USA. Hail was referring to such matters as the removal of a few yeara ago of First Secretary Nikita 5. Khrushchev, which the CP, USA first learned about in the press and on the radio,
As a result of having learned of this action from the press and radio, Hall told the Russians that he waa unprepared to meet press inquiries in the United States. In discussing this matter, Hall stated that the CP, USA "wasn't going to be at the mercy of the ‘New York Times' on such matters in
. the future," and he wanted some guarantees that similar
incidente would not occur in the future, According to Hall, only on rare occasions has the CPSU adviséd him of some ‘pending action before the Weatern press has reported it.
Even in those cases where he haa had some advance information, the time element has been extremely brief.
After having raised this matter, Hall was given
gome assurance that efforts would be undertaken to work out.
this problem and prevent a repetition of it in the future.

The decision to gend Meyers to this meeting was made by the Secretariat of the CP, USA without consulting Gus Hall, General Secretary of the CP, USA, sometime before Hall's return to the United States on October 23, 1966. Hall was critical of the : selection of Meyers but eventually consented to this selec- tion in the afternoon of October 24, 1566. ζῇ,
Before his departure, Meyers was entrusted with 8 number of CP, USA confidential documents which he was instructed to deliver to several individuals in Prague. The first matter involved Mary Kaufman, a lawyer handling legal matters for the CP, USA. Meyers waa furnished a number of letters concerning Kaufman which were to be delivered as follows: The letter to the Central Comnittee,. Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (CPCZ), was to be delivered to officials of the "World Marxist Review" who would insure that it reaches the Central Committee, CPCZ. The letter to the Central Committee, Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SUPG), was to be delivered to a Mra, (first name unknown) Berg, a member of the Central Committee, SUPG, assigned to the staff of the "World Marxist Review." ‘The letter to the Central Committee, Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), was to be delivered to Alexander Tuchin, Protocol Chief, at the "World Marxist Review" to be relayed through the USSR Embassy in Prague to Moscow, USSR.

The second note to the Central Committee, CPSU, read as follows: |
"October 27, 1966
"Central Committee Communist Party of the Soviet Union Moscow, USSR
Dear Comrades: | . ες
| “Comrade Gus Hall has asked that we convey - these thoughts to you. :
"The Communist Parties of Great Britain, France, and Italy are of the opinion now that it would not be bad to hold a conference of world Communist and Workers Parties, However, this meeting cannot be held without the Vietnamese Party and, secondly, they think it would be bad to force this meeting in a hurry since it is Com~ rade Hall's opinion that they are now moving in this direction, It would be best to hold this idea .forth without prodding. Some Parties now belleve that the Chinese do not have to be present at such a meeting, although in the past they thought there could be no world meeting without the Chinese.
"Comrade Hall also wishes to express his warm thanks for the fine reception and your expression of international solidarity.
"National Committee “Communist Party, U.S.A."
Meyers wad also given custody of a note to the Hun- garian Socialist Workers Party (HSWP) which was to be delivere to the Hungarian Embassy in Prague. upon receipt by the CP, USA of a letter which Mickey Lima of

of Northern Ireland. While in Great Britain, Meyers intended
to contact John Williamson of the CP of Great Britain to whom, def ‘Hall bas stated, Meyers has been writing “silly, naive letters," Meyera" desire to visit Ireland is believed motivated primarily
by the fact that his mother was Irish rather than any ‘Party bysinesa to be conducted there,

The following information was supplied wee source which has furnished reliable information in the past,
During 1965, the Central Committee, Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), made a decision to set up a new organization within the CPSU for the purpose of main-~ taining closer ties with fraternal communist parties throughout the world, The new organization would have the tasks of trying to hold the fraternal parties together and laying the basis for a future international organization that could eventually become a Communist International.
In the Fall of 1966, the CPSU established the - Institute of International Workers Movement in Moscow, Russia. Tiaur Timofeey, formerly Assistant Director of the Institute of World Economy and International Relations, Soviet Acadeny of Science, hag been appointed head of the Institute of International Workers Mevenent, which is officially considered δὰ having direct responsibilities to the Central Committee of the CPSU. In order to operate the Institute, Timofeey ‘has been given a budget which will enabie ‘hin to eventually employ approximately 380 persons, At the present time, 50 people have already been omployed with a large number transferring from their work in the International Department, Central Committes, CPSU. Present plans call for the location of permanent facilities for the Institute to be ‘at-a site not far from the present International Lenin School, which is located eg Leni odie

tance between downtown Moscow and Moscow's main international airport, At the present tine, the Institute is wrintaining _ offices at the CPaU Higher Party School in Noscov,.
The Institute has been provided with ἃ ‘hard gure rency" budget which will enable it to employ a nusber of people fron foreign countries and enable it to pay these individuals in full or two-thirds of that amount in the our- rency of their native lands, The CPSU realises that it could not get communist party leaders from other gountries to work for the Institute unlesa it paid then in foreign currency. This is 2 sign of the importance that the CPSU attached to the Institute, because “hard currency" is an item particularly difficult for the Soviet Union to accumulate and the Government dispenses it as sparingly as possible and only when an urgent need ‘arines,
- .The Institate will be affiliated with the Soviet Acadeny of Science in. order to give it greater prestige. At the present time, Aleksei Rumyantsev, former Editor of .
"Pravda," official organ of the Central Committee, Crau, is assiating Tinofeey,
The first official lecture presented pefore the Institute was given by Gus Hall, General Secretary, Com- minist Party, USA, on September 26, 1966, during g uall'e ‘visit to Moscow while on tour of communist bloc countries. Approximately 3,000 people were present for Hall's lecture ‘and many were turned 5 away.

This is: ἴο acquaint you with the details of ἃ ‘secret ‘meeting held:.in the Soviet Union between Gus Hall, General. Secretary, Communist Party, USA, and' officials of
the Soviet Security Branch, K CG. 5824—~S* has advised that in early. Octo 1966, while in the Soviet Union, Hall was summoned to. meeting where leading members of the Soviet Security Branch discussed the clandestine apparatus operating K “between the Communist -Party, USA, and the Communist Party. ‘+, o£ the Soviet Union,. The first point raised by the Soviets 328 vio in the Communist Party, USA, knows that funds are
being. recel ed from the Soviet Union. ,-Hall advised that only CG 5824 -S* and NY 694.5} know of the full details, He mentioned that Helen Winter, office manager at the Party{s national\feadquarters, is provided funds which she funnels; into“the+Party and may suspect where the money is coming;: from:but is*not aware of the amount received or other details. Hall told the Soviets. that in order to cover the funds chan-. lee into the Party, he makes frequent trips throughout’ the:
United States and falsely reports back on successful fund drives‘or on successful contacts with friends who. ‘gave | ‘sub= stantial, contributions to the Party. © oh AO ” 4 5 The doviet officials then raised the matter con- ΓΞ the alleged discussion reported sometime ago between fay
wherein Rusk: allegedly stated ‘that the U.S. Gover nt has knowledge of the amount and manner in-which the Soviet Union is financing the Communist Party, USA.. Hall responded that the Government has always charged. that the Party ‘was receiving funds from abroad, but obviously .has:no proof.

‘Memorandum to Mr, W. C. Sullivan RE: SOLO 100~428091
The Soviets discussed the possibility of the
Party establishing a firm abroad through which the Soviets ‘jcould channelize funds to the Party. Hall argued against this noting that the U.S. Government keeps close tabs on ᾿ {American firms abroad; and, if the funds were brought into the United States legally, the Party would be forced to pay 8 substantial amount of tax. The Soviets then suggested that the Party set up, in New York City, a small laundry here people come and go at frequent intervals carrying undles. Such{a business would enable the Soviets to carry in a bundle of money without attracting any attention, Hall thought this was an excellent idea and promised ‘to try and establish such a 'bisiness.
The Soviets suggested that, hereafter, all per~ ‘sonal meets be held:away from the city since they felt that in a populated area, you could never be sure whows around; whereas in the country at lonely places, it could be immediately ascertained if strangers were present. Hall agreed and offered to mark maps forthe Soviets! use in this regard,
The Soviets indicated that the apparatus work being performed by NY 694-S* was very difficult and suggested that someone be located to assist NY 694-S*, Hall indicated that an individual (NY 4309-5) was presently being developed to assist NY 694-S*, The Soviets mentioned that when NY 694-S* is ready to introduce this new individual into the apparatus, he should be brought to the Soviet Union so that the Security Branch could pass. judgement on ‘the individual's suitability.
OBSERVATIONS : μὰ ἢ
As a result of this meeting, Hall is now ‘fully’ aware of the intimate details of the clandestine Solo τῷ apparatus, and has made himself a part of this apparatus. However, on the positive side is the fact that definite} arrangements have been made to. introduce NY 4309-S into the Solo apparatus,

On 11/15/66, there were received from Moscow, via radio, two ciphered-partially coded messages, the plain texts of which are as follows:
"On 10 November we got your signal by walkie-talkie and waited for further.message but it did not follow. Drop ‘Suet is out of order because of construction works in the area. We ae ready
to get ‘your material on 16 November through
Drop 'Tessie.' If you are going to use
'fessie!' on 16th, please let us know on
15th by telephone." [
The above refers ‘to a walkie-talkie signal given on November 10, 1966, to set up a transceiver message for 11/11/66. Apparently this transceiver message was not received by the Russians as the message stated a drop was scheduled for 11/14/66. On 11/14/66, NY 694-S* made a drop according to the transceiver message of 11/11/66. This drop was not cleared by the Russians and ἃ new drop is scheduled to be made on 11/16/66. |

In early October, 1966, John Vafiades, a former American residing in Prague, Czechoslovakia, where he works for the World Federation of Trade Unions/(WETD), was con~ fined to a neurological institute. Vafiades, while residing in the United States, had once suffered a broken vertebra which had partially healed. Recently, this same problem. with the vertebra recurred and necessitated hospitalization and an operation. Vafiades, who has only an unimportant job at the WFTU, had some difficulty in arranging the “required hospitalization and securing the necessary operation. He was ultinately successful in getting the best neuro~ surgeon in Prague to undertake the operation, but this, ina great part, was the result of the intervention of Abe Fein- Blase of Chicago, one of the current leaders of the Fur | Workers Division of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workers of America. Feinglass reportedly had once met the doctor who performed the operation on Vafiades when that individual made a trip to the United States. During this trip to the United States, the doctor had become short of currency So Feingiass invited this individual to stay at
| When Feinglass made a trip to the Soviet Union dn the recent past, he had contacted Yafiades at the ¥FTU headquarters in Prague. Yeinglass had known Vafiades as one of the workers in the Fur Workers Union. During their visit, Vafiades told Feinglass of his physical problens and the difficulty in securing proper medical attention | ‘and in getting a surgeon to perform the operation. Feinglasa’ . told Vafiades that he knew a doctor and would write to that individual in Czechoslovakia. Feinglass subsequently wrote ‘to this doator and shortly thereafter all arrangements were made for Vatiades to secure the hospitalization and the operation, and it was noted at the time that this was being done as a favor for Feinglags. |

FROM: SAC, CHICAGO (134-46 Sub B) “ooo ) As the Bureau is aware, the 215 Solo Mission, which
commenced 8/7/66, was completed on 10/15/66 with the return to Chicago of CG 5824-S*, and numerous communications have been furnished to the Bureau setting forth the results thereof, | Prior to this, CG 6653-5 returned to the U.S. on 9/17/66 bring- ing with her a volume of intelligence information gathered by CG 5824-S* up to that point. As noted in previous communica- tions to the Bureau, the purpose of this mission was solely \to accompany GUS HALL, General Secretary, CP, USA, on his xtensive tour of the USSR and Eastern European countries, CG 5824-S* left HALL when HALL began to visit Western European | | nations which extended HALL’s trip until 10/23/66. “
Based upon the excellent intelligence obtained during the course of this mission, as well as the great risks voluntarily assumed, it is recommended that an award be approved for CG 5824-S* in the amo CG _6653-S in the amount of $500. Should the Bureau approve ‘these awards, it is also recommended that accompanying letters from the Director be prepared as has been done in the past.

traveling under assumed identities behind the Iron Curtain and placed themselves in the hands of communist authorities, CG 5824-S* for a period of two months and CG 6653-S for one month. Such an action reflects the highest level of courage and skill to successfully accomplish their mission. When
CG 6653-S returned on 9/17/66 she carried with her numerous notes and documents from CG 5824-S* which enabled this infor~
mation to be made available to the intelligence community
and policy-making bodies of the U.S. in much more timely fashion than had it it awaited CG 5824-S*'s return. During the course of this latest Solo Mission, CG 5824-S* participated with HALL in meetings with the top leadership of every socialist country except China, Albania, and Cuba. This {included meetings with LEONID I. BREZHNEV, Ὁ, General Secretary, CP of the Soviet Union; ANTONIN NOVOTNY, President of Czecho- ‘slovakia; WALTER ULBRICHT, Head of East Germany; WLADYSLAW GOMULKA, ‘leader of Poland: NICOLAE CEAUSESCU, ruler of Romania; and otherequally important socialist leaders.
CG 5824-S*'s position was greatly enhanced by this mission and the information obtained exceeds monetary valuation.
This trip was undertaken with the usual handicap of CG 9824-S* ' 5 generally poor physical condition. The rigors tha months of constant pressure left him in a ‘state exhaus¢ton-et—the~time of nis FE et Oe DS .--0G-B824-SE ins chanactenieod this: latest mission as the .most..difficult—and trydag.migsion he s"éver un dertaken,, purely.fram.a-physical standpoint.

In addition, the numerous high level meetings kept CG 5824-S* under constant mental pressure as did his efforts to fulfill the unreasonable demands of GUS HALL for treatment that can be described as nothing less than royal.
It is in view of the above extraordinary accomplish- ments and sacrifices by these two informants that the above
recommendations are made. I would like to point ouf that
CG 5824-S* is by nature a very sentimental individual and cherishes his association with the FRI, and particularly
with the Director, “even though on some occasions the demands

ReBulet points out what possibly appears to be a discrepancy in CGlet dated November 4, 1966, and in NYlet dated November 1, 1966, pertaining to a transaction involving the sum of $212.30 and requested clarification of this matter.
ReBulet dated November 10, 1966.
For the information of the Bureau, New York cor~ rectly reported in its letter of November 1, 1966, that the sum of $212.30 had been paid to CG 5824-S* on October 27, 1966, while the source was in New York City. The source received this money in conjunction with other monies which he provided to Party leaders in New York City. However, while in New York City, the source did not spend the $212.30 and, therefore, brought this money back to Chicago with hin, The source personally placed this $212.30, which originated with Solo Funds in New York City, with the Solo Funds he no maintains in Chicago. Accordingly, the addition of $212.30 to Solo Funds noted in CGlet is also correct and the trans- action, in effect, resulted in a transfer of funds from New York City to Chicago,

In conversations he held with GUS HALL, General _ ; Secretary, Communist Party, USA (CP, USA), while’ the latter . 4. was in Chicago, 11/15-16/66, HALL raised the matter regarding Ah ghee the Party's request for financial assistance from the CP. of vel! ' the Soviet Union for 1907. At this time, HALL stated that if "we don't get the word soon, start badgering them (the Russians)." He then indicated that if the delay is too long, ; it might be necessary to "go over and slug it out with them." According to CG 5824-§*, HALL's intent was to clearly infer ' an that a satisfactory solution to the money problem was up to CG 5824-S* and that, if necessary, the source should be pre~ pared to travel, CG 5824-S* noted that he told HALL to be patient for awhile yet since the past has shown that no decision on such matters is rendered by the Russians normally ; until sometime after the first of December.
At this same time, HALL ‘was full of sarcasm and resentment generally towards the Russians. He had been Cu irked by the kind of treatment he had received in

was held at the UN. According to HALL, from the kind of reception he got there, "I might as well have been a man from the street." HALL then related this reception at the UN on ‘11/7 to an occurrence which took place during the course of the 2lst Solo Mission while HALL and ‘the source were in Prague, Czechoslovakia. On this occasion, some ‘leading ‘people of the CP of Czechoslovakia, including a Secretary of the Central Committee, had taken HALL and his
wife and CG 5824-S* and his wife to a night club, At this Same night club the Czech Premier, JOSEF LENART, was enter-
taining the President of Latvia and a group of Latvian Government officials. Although LENART and the rest of the leading Czech representatives at that function came over to HALL's table to wish him well and render toasts to him, the Russian Latvians stood aloof, did not come over or even acknowledge HALL's presence. At the time this had irked HALL very much. and he commented at one point "those damn stiff Russians,"

On October 27, 1966, GEORGE MEYERS, leading, Communist Party, USA (CP, USA). functionary from Baltimore, Maryland, left the United States en route to Prague, Czech- oslovakia, where he was to participate in a round table conference sponsored by the "World Marxist Review," a theoretical organ of the international communist movement, headquartered at Prague. Prior to his departure, he was furnished with several confidential items which he was to deliver while in Prague.
As you will recall, while in Moscow, USSR, during © May, 1966, SCHROEDER BOLTON had engaged in discussions with a number of ranking economists, including V \PAVLICHENKO, Assistant ScientitNe Secretary-General, USSR, LEK, cademy of Science, and_ANATOL UZNETZOV; Ὅν ΧΟ reign ᾿ “M nistry officers BOLTON has at\empted to maintain contact W ese individuals since that! time.

This is to recommend that a $1,000 meritorious | award be made to CG 5824-S* and a $500 meritorious award be made to CG 6653-5 in view of the fact that ry Fiak
informants subjected themselves to extraordinary ris
in accompanying Gus Hall, General Secretary, Comudist
Party, USA, on a tour of the Soviet Union and Soviet-bl
countries, It is also recommended that these informants
receive individual letters of appreciation.
The 2lst Solo Mission was completed on 10/15/66, with the return of CG 5824~S* to the United States. At the instructions of Gus Hall, CG 5824-S* and CG 6653-5 departed from the United States on 8/7/66, en route to the Soviet Union for the purpose of accompany ing Gus Hall on a tour of the Soviet Union and Soviet~bloc countries,
CG 5824-S* participated with Hall in meetings with the top communist leadership of every country visited, This included meetings with such leaders as Leonid Brezhnev, General Secretary, Communist Party of the Soviet Union; Antonin Novotny, President of Czechoslovakia;.and Walter Ulbricht, East Germany communist leadera’t.As a result, CG 5824~S* was able to supply us with detailed “information concerning the latest developments in the international con- /) munist movement,
CG 5824-S* and CG 6653~S displayed an utter dis- regard for their own health and safety by subjecting themselves to the rigors of this mission in dealing at firsthand with the Soviet and Soviet-bloc leadership within the confines of the Iron Curtain, This mission, which lasted over two months, was characterized by CG 5824-S* as the most difficult and trying mission he has, ever under-~

During, this entire mission, CG 6653-S, in addi- tion to'‘her duties in a secretarial capacity for Gus Hall, attended various communist social affairs with Hall's wife, CG 6653-5, who returned ‘to the United States. on 9/17/66, concealed, on her person, confidential: notes which enabled this data tobe disseminated to the top leaders of our Government in a much more timely fashion than had it awaited CG, 5824-S*«'s return on 10/15/66,
Our Chicago Office has recommended that, in addition to the above-mentioned awards to:CG 5824-S*, this informant also be awarded a plaque which would be presented to him in further'recognition of the extra~ ordinary character of his. contribution on this mission. jHowever, it is not felt that such action would: be judicious in that it would set ἃ precedent which we would be obligated to follow in the future, It would alsg,have the effect of glighting NY 694-S*,who feels his actiyities in this opera-
ion are of equal importance.
OBSERVATIONS :
The intelligence data obtained 6fiithis Solo mission is invaluable. These missions are inhereng§ty@ dangerous, ‘particularly since the informants are traveling under pseudonyms and could be "lost" behind the Iron Curtain at any timejiand no one could question their whereabouts, The willingn gS‘and courage of these informants in carrying out this misS8ion at a great personal sacrifice certainly merits special recognition,
RECOMMENDATIONS :
: (1). That CG 5824-S* and CG 6653-S receive individ- ual letters of appreciation as wellas awards of $1,000 and
$500, respectively.
(2) That the attached letter be sent to Chicago authorizing the above~noted: payments to CG 5824=-S* and
‘CG 6653-S and instructing the Special Agent in Charge to make the presentation of these awards along with the attached personal letters of appreciation. (After informants have
had an opportunity to read the letters of appreciation, the
letters will be: returned to ‘the Chicago: Office and retained in the office

On 11/9/66, CG 5824-S*, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised SAs WALTER A. BOYLE and RICHARD W. HANSEN that during the course of the 215 Solo Mission he had occasion in nearly all countries he visited to talk to representatives of the Parties' International Departments. Based on discussions with the representatives of such International Departments, the source noted that arrangements had been made which would enable him on an emergency basis to enter the following countries without having previously received the usual visa: Romania, Hungary, Poland, and Bulgaria.
In all of these countries, CG 5824-S* was ‘told that all that ‘would be required of him-was that on arrival he should contact a security officer and have that individual contact the Central Committee of the respective Party. A representative of the Central Committee would then be dis- patched and would meet the source.

On 11/17/66 CG 5824-S*, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised SAs WALTER A. BOYLE and RICHARD W. HANSEN that only recently he ἡ) yd.
had recalled that during the 2lst Solo Mission when he and GUS HALL, General Secretary, Communist Party, USA (CP, USA), had met with representatives of the Security Branch, International Department, Central Committee, CP ‘of the Soviet Union, in early 10/66 some inguiry had been e,by the Russians as to me My what "we" knew about SACRWALENTS, former personal Ah aide το President LYNDON B, JOHNSON and now head of ‘fl
Calif. The Russians indicated that they knew a lot
about VALENTI based on press material and on remarks of columnists, but they posed questions like: How many children does VALENTI have? How close is VALENTI to the President today? What is VALENTI's new job and what are his dutdes? What other details did we know about his personal background? After having
-y raised the matter of VALENTI, the\{ussians also asked ων [Ὁ] Similar questions regarding WILLIAMS RS, former ~ . HNS ee
Ae
At the time of the inquiry, neither HALL nor CG 5824-S* was able to supply specit ie answers to any
2 7575: Aq 5147
᾿ J 8 Φ | | i 1 1 a
CG 134-46' Sub B
of the questions posed by the Russians concerning VALENTI or MOYERS... HALL, however, promised that upon his return he would try ‘to get more information for them "through his Washington contacts."
CG 5824-S* noted that following this meeting, he had spent considerable time trying to figure out why the Russians had made such inquiries concerning VALENTI and
MOYERS, After having given this much thought, CG 5824-S*
stated that it was his opinion, and only that, that the Russians had probably expressed interest in these people becausé they had beén close to President JOHNSON and they were contemplating travel which could bring them to the Soviet Union or other socialist countries and during such
visits might be engaged in discussions with government
leaders. Since each of these individuals held important
positions and weRéclose to President JOHNSON, the Russians
may have been attempting to determine if either of these individuals might still have "the ear" of the President
so that if they told them something it could be anticipated that it might get back to the President. It may also have been possible that the Russians may have been seeking to establish a basis for evaluation of certain remarks and comments made by these individuals and might have been
trying to ascertain whether they could interpret such remarks as echoing the attitudes and ‘thoughts of the President, Similarly, they may have been trying to ascertain whether statements emanating from such people could be relied upon as echoing ‘some semi-official opinion.
According to the source, he felt the foregoing ‘inquiry by the Russians was worthy of note even though his own evaluation thereof was based totally on opinion and in no way can be said to factually state the true meaning of these inguiries by the Russians.

> SAC, NEW YORK (100-134637)
As the Bureau is aware, SA WILLIAM C. MARTIN has been the alternate agent in handling NY 694-S*,. The Bureau is also aware of the transfer of SA MARTIN to the Newark Office. It Will now be necessary to designate another alternate agent.
In designating an. alternate agent, various factors must be taken into consideration. The NYO feels that the SOLO operation, as well as the activities of NY 694=S* in general, is one of the most important aspects of the work being handled in this office and as a result extreme caution must be used in selecting the agent who will act as the alternate. It is also important that an agent be designated who has the ability and personality to work harmoniously with NY 694-S*, The Bureau knows that at times NY 694~S* can be most difficult to handle. Taking these factors under consideration, I have concluded that SA
JOHN F, LANGTRY is the proper man for the assignment.
SA JOHN Εν LANGTRY was born 5/10/24. His EOD date is 4/16/51, ,5: and he has been assigned to the NYO since 4/4/55, and to the present he has ‘been assigned to the Internal Security Division. He has developed a thorough knowledge of the Communist Party and many of the individuals connected with it. For a number
of years he has handled NY 1587-S* who is the foremost informant in the New York District CP: and in this assignment his work has been above the average.
pba me SSS
SA LANGTRY has proved himself to be a very capable Bureau agent. He is a thorough investigator, extremely loyal and a hard worker. He is most dependable. In addition, he has an outstanding
personality and chould have no difficulty in establishing rapport
with the informant. ation “646- 2609] -D4 δὲ oemenZ) . Bubdeu (Ride! ον REC- A | & ω ειεἰ : ἐμ fs aoe HO (r= 109-3407122) (NY 694-S*) ΣΤ

‘When NY 694-S* was advised that SA MARTIN had been transferred το. the Newark Office, he expressed a desire that the Bureau carefully consider the designation of a new agent as it was of great. concern to him, on account of ‘his aliness, that he ‘be able to work without irritation. He indicated he would be pleased to have an agent of ‘ the caliber and personality of SA MARTIN.
In consideration of the wishes of NY 694-S*, it is believed that SA LANGTRY would be a most desirable choice as the alternate ‘agent. Therefore, UACB SA LANGTRY has been designated as the alternate agent to work with SA BURLINSON in handling NY 694-S*,

As noted in reCGairtel and informant's statement, representatives of the Security Branch, International Depart- ment, Central Committee, Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), in discussions with GUS HALL, General Secretary of the Communist Party, USA (CP, USA), and CG 5824-S*, which were held ‘in Moscow, USSR, in early 10/66, noted they were aware ‘that NY 694-S* had been in the hospital and that they were concerned. It was recognized by these representatives of the Security Branch ‘that the work performed by NY 694-S* was hard and that they were interested in knowing whether any consideration had been given to ‘locating someone to give
| Ny 694-S* a Vift. The Russians were told that in the past the CP, USA had informed them they had someone with techni- cal training available to assist NY. 694-S* but that on instructions of the CPSU the Party had not taken any specific action. The Russians were also told that they were aware of

J this individual but ‘his name was not raised at this time, At the time of this discussion, HALL stated that before anything of this nature, that is, the addition of an assis- ‘tant to NY 694-S* to the apparatus, he wanted to know about him. He also told the Russians that when they were ready.
“tO approve such a helper for NY 694-S*, they should Jet the Party here know. According to CG 5824-Sk, this was the first occasion on which ‘the Russians actually indicated they were now ‘prépared to consider and/or accept a helper for
_ NY 694-5*. The source also noted that the Russians had stated that when NY 694-S* was ready. to consider the intro- duction of a néw person tus, that fans would like to talk to NY 694-S* so they could discuss this Matter. The Russtans suggested that this meeting place could be in Moscow; Prague, Czechoslovakia; or any other safe location chosen by NY 694-S*,. At such a meeting, the Russians would be
| oP to render a decision on the utilization in the apparatus | ot the person suggested by NY 694-S*,
In view of the foregoing suggestion by the Russians and because of NY 694-S*'s present health situation, both CG 5824-S* and NY 694-S* have given this matter of a possible assistant to NY 694-S* their maximum attention, Since NY 4309-S is well qualified for this position in the apparatus based on his past training in the Soviet Union and also because of his actual experience, it_was felt by both CG 5824-S* and NY 694-S* ‘that this idividual was capable of trust and would be accept~ able to the Russians. Accordingly, it was decided that: CG 5824-S* should raise this matter of inserting NY 4309-S into the Soloapparatus with GUS HALL at ‘the earliest ‘possible | logical opportunity.
: NY 694-S* and CG 5824-S* then drew up a biography ' pelating to NY 4309-8 which, in essence, was as follows:

When ΝΥ 4309-S came back ‘to the US ia about 1937 or 1938, he was instructed to _ mmediately contact NY 694-S* and the Secretary of Ὁ the Party, Earl Browder. He was told to Jay low but always be ‘ready. This he did over many years { and has never been openly exposed, From 1937-40, he was in touch with Harry Kwite and Gene Dennis and, of course, the Party knew of his existence and importance, and Dennis knew of his activity over- seas but his name was never brought up.
During World War II he volunteered for the Marines and was discharged with a good record. He in-:

It was decided that when the matter of NY 4309-S was raised with HALL, he would only be furnished the essence of the above material in an oral fashion and that nothing would be placed in writing on this subject if it could be avoided,
On 11/15-16/66 GUS HALL was in Chicago and during this period spent his time exclusively with CG 5824-S*, After having ascertained HALL's mood at the time, CG 5824-S* felt that the time was ripe for a presentation to HALL regarding NY 4309-S. Accordingly, a discussion took place during the course of HALL’s two-day stay and at this time HALL ‘was presented with NY 4309-S' identity and a summary of background information regarding him, Following the conclusion of their discussion on this subject, HALL granted his formal approval for the use of NY 4309-S in the Solo_ apparatus pending advice to the Russians and the Russians! subsequent approval of such use, HALL instructed further, that when feasible the matter be taken up with the Russians in the manner they had suggested, that ioe pal personal meeting with the Russians by NY 694-S* in Moscow, Pragués~"6r"some other acceptable mééting place, The only qualification HALL placed on the use of NY 4309-S was thathe, HALL, desires to to be introduced to that individual before formal approval
nd utilization,
The source then noted that the matter of introduction of ΝΥ 4309-S to HALL should not be rushed and that HALL had indicated that_for the next period of a few week too busy to undertake such a meeting. HALL stated the reason for this was because he had reports to prepare for the National Board and National Committee meetings scheduled in early 12/66 and also because be had a mass meeting for this same period.

According to CG 5824-S*, he has been asked by HALL ~f- ‘to come to NYC around the period that the National Board and National Committee meetings will commence, 12/2/66, and, there- fore, at this time he would be able to discuss the matter of NY 4309-8 with NY 694-S*, In such discussions, the source and NY 694-S* could decide how and when NY 4309-8 should be briefed and the extent of such briefing, If NY 694-S*'s physical condition is such that he cannot undertake this project, CG 5824-S*, who has met NY 4309-S, could handle this briefing if NY 694-S* concurs.
CG 5824~-S* also advised that some time iin the near tuture he and NY 694-S* must jointly prepare a message to be sent to the Russians on this matter wherein they should consider setting forth certain background information on this possible insertion into the Solo apparatus. Logically, such type of a communication cannot be transmitted until HALL's meeting
with NY 4309-S and then only if he gives his final and formal approval thereta. AV feted ιν Ht ν a pi νέα fctey
Following successful completion of the foregoing, then it will be necessary to undertake the final step--that is, the personal discussions with the Russians on this matter, Obviously, according to CG 5824-S*, the person the Russians would desire most to see and discuss this matter with, because of his technical background and detailed knowledge | of the comp tea tion apparatus, wound pe ΤΥ ee However it may be that NY 694-5*'s personal physical situation might preclude his travel and pafticipation in Sach ὁ nesting, If “NY 694-S* should be precludéd from this undertaking, CG 5824-S* advises that he saw no other alternative but for him to travel
although he noted he has his own. serious "physical problems and, in addition, Jacks the overall technical knowledge of roblems which are ‘familiar to NY.f94-S*#. However, the source felt that the Russians would talk to him regarding this matter and that it could be favorably iresolved if he found it necessary to travel himself. According to the source, it will be entirely up to NY 694-S* as to how this matter will Vo be finally resolved and he dees not want to push NY 694-§* piet por give that individual any feeling that CG 5824-S* is Be wie attempting to replace him in an area where NY 694-S* is best qualified.

This is to advise you of the progress being made relative to inserting NY 4309-S* into the Solo apparatus.
In early October, 1966, while in the Soviet Union,
Gus Hall, General Secretary, Communist Party, USA, met with officials of the Security Branch, International Department, Central Committee ,/Communist Party of the Soviet Union. On that occasion, the ‘Soviet officials noted they were aware that NY 694-S* was in poor health. They indicated they were now prepared to consider a helper for NY 694-S*, who operates the clandestine communication apparatus between the Communist ‘Party, USA, and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The Soviets told Hall that, when NY 694-S* was ready to introduce ἃ helper into the apparatus, NY 694-S* should come to the
Soviet Union to discuss this matter, Hall agreed to this,
ι but stated, before anything of this nature takes place, he
desired to first pass judgment on the suitability of the helper.
The suggestion of the Soviets that consideration be given toward obtaining a helper for NY 694~5* has afforded us b7p ‘the long-awaited opportunity to insert NY 4309-S* into the Solo apparatus. NY 4309~S* has an excellent background for in
and hn several European countries, NY 4309-S* has retained contact with the Communist Party over “ the years, and was well known to Eugene Dennis, deceased fo former Party leader. —e
Hall advised CG 5824-S* that he desired to meet NY 4309-S* prior to utilizing this individual in the apparatus. However, Hall stated'‘that,in view of the forthcoming meetings of the Party's National Board’ and National Committee, he would not be able to meet with NY “Ag09-S* until late December,

This same individual previously had acted as translator for Henry Winston, then a Vice Chairman, CP, USA, when that individual visited the GDR during the Spring of 1966,
Hertzberg is a woman of approximately 40 years of age and is currently employed by the Government of the GDR as a prosecutor in juvenile court. Her legal training for this task consisted of an eighteen-month intensified govern- ment course.
As a child, Ursala Hertzberg was taken to Great Britain as a refugee from Nazism. She returned to Germany after the SUPG had come into power. Her mother, a Jewess, was a victim of the Nazis and died in a concentration camp, Because of the fact that her mother was a victim of the Nazis, Ursala Hertzberg, as a surviving child, has received

Ursala Hertzberg has reportedly been connected with the communist movement for a substantial ‘portion of her life and allegedly while in Great Britain had been involved in the Young-Communist League there. Her return to the GDR at the request of the SUPG was a voluntary one ‘on her part although she acknowledges that the decision to return had come initially with some reservation.
During the period of time she spent in Great Britain, Hertzberg apparently had met and was associated with Horst Brasch, another German refugee living in Great Britain, Brasch also had returned to the GDR and is now a member of the Central Committee, SUPG. ;

"SCINTEIA" (Organ of ‘the Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party) Tuesday, October 11, 1966 ; ᾿ Page 5 . Title: The Interview Granted by Comrade Gus Hall, Secretary General of the Communist Party of the U.S.A. to the Newspaper “Scinteia’’
On the occasion of the visit made to our country, at
the invitation of the Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party, Comrade GUS HALL, Secretary General
of the Communist Party of the U.S.A., answered several questions asked by the newspaper "'Scintela,'' within :the framework of an interview granted to Comrade I. CUMPANASU, Deputy Chief Editor of the newspaper,
QUESTION: What are the principles of the decision and the objectives established by the 18th Congress of the Communist Party of the U.S.A.7
ANSWER: I wish to express on this occasion my gratitude for the possibility accorded me to visit Socialist Romania and ‘to thank the Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party for the invitation.
Of course, the main problem put before our Congress in June, as an urgent problem, was the escalation of the imperialistic aggressive war in Vietnam, The Congress considered that its ‘main and immediate duty is the maximum mobilization of all the forces in the U.S.A. which oppose this aggression, To mobilize all the forces which belong ‘to all the groups and social classes,
ENCLOSURE
: J00-¥ & 09/5 55 7
because the interest of all the groups of the American people are affected by this aggressive war, In the second place,
the Congress decided that its strategic objective is the liberation of the country from under the yoke of the capitalist monopoly. Our country finds itself squeezed by the capitalist monopoly more ‘than any other country in history. In order that U.S.A. may continue on its road for progress it will be necessary to implement ‘this strategic objective, From a strategic point of view the antimonopolistic struggle in ‘the U.S.A, at the present time occupied in the activity of our party the same place which occupied the decisions taken by the 5th Congress
of the Romanian Communist Party, and the activity of your Communist Party in the respective period, Concerning the strategic objective the party established concrete duties, The masses of the people are first of all mobilized in the fight for peace and in the anti-imperialist struggle which is tied to the antimonopolist struggle, In the second place, we take into consideration the fight for civil rights and for the equality
of the Negro population which is tied to the fight against monopolies, In the third place, we direct our efforts towards the economic struggle of the workers, especially in connection with the effects which automation has on the working people
and its ties with the antimonopolistic struggle, Finally, in
a general way, the Congress decided on all these forms of struggle as the only way in the fight for socialism. This is the way
in which the program of our party was published and it was approved by the Congress,
The Congress was a great event in the life of our party and an important political event in the life of our country. This is because the Congress marked the transition of the party from a semi-illegal or illegal party to a legal party. Also because in the U.S.A. the fight for democratic rights of all
the people is closely tied to the rights which are possessed
by the Communist Party to function, The force of our struggle for legality resides in the fact that the large masses of the people understand this tie. The importance of the Congress was also ‘noticed by the ample publicity given to the works of the Congress by television, radio and press,
we v7 ἢ . ἢ , Φ ᾿
QUESTION: How does the Communist Party of the U.S.A. appreciate the present situation and the organizational objectives and the consolidation of the leftist forces in the United States?
ANSWER: In the first place, it is important to understand that in the new stage of the general life of the United States a gigantic mass movement was born, ‘This stage has been determined by the following factors: The Soviet Union broke the atomic monopoly, Until that moment the American imperialism felt very strong due 'to the nuclear arm. monopoly. The second factor which changed the situation was the appearance of the world socialist system, The third factor has been that the main capitalist countries developed into main competitors, of the United States, The final factor which led to a new situation in our country | was the appearance of automation ‘i.n industry. And in an industrial nation such as the U.S.A. this was an event full of drama. This process began in the coal industry in which we have 700,000 miners, This number was valid for the period before automation, Now we have only 125,000 miners and the coal production is the same as before, The social effect of automation is beginning to feel also in the steel industry, in all the other industrial enterprises which, of course, changes fundamentally the employment situation. The automation effects were very drastic in two groups of endeavor: Among the young ‘people because the employment was almost completely closed to them and among the American Negroes because the automation replaces especially the unskilled laborer, This explains the reason for the mass movement in the United States. The same situation has led also to the appearance of the struggle for the civil rights of the Negroes in our country, This -explains the reason why the young American generation may truly be branded as the "generation in revolt," In the last years millions upon millions of Americans have been engaged in the struggle. We have in the average -° a thousand strikes each day.
Since the American atomic monopoly was broken by the Soviet Union and the masses have been forced to accept the reality that in event of a nuclear war the United States will be one of the most exposed centers, everything that is connected with the problem of war and peace has become a problem of life
, "
and death for millions of people. As a result of all these
factors a strong progressive left movement developed, Although
our party was illegal or semi-illegal it assumed the responsibility to lead this leftist movement, And we are very proud that in
the last few years our party has become one of the most important factors of this movement, especially of the youth leftist
movement, This explains why our party has been successful in winning several judicial victories, If we wouldn't have under- taken this mass struggle we wouldn't have been able 'to win these victories, Through this mass struggle the party will gain new positions for its full legal recognition.
I wish to add another idea, The automation in American industry brings to the surface the sharpest conflict which exists between labor and capital in the course of history, because this struggle could not be won by.a single union or one ‘industrial
enterprise, due to the fact that the automation is a factor which
affects the entire social structure of the country. To note is also the fact that a struggle cannot be won only in the economic domain, Because of this the labor movement and the union movement are marching in the struggle of the political domain, In the movement and the struggle of the antimonopolist. » forces this confrontation between labor and capital would be a very important factor,
QUESTION; How do the groups of people of the American population
manifest themselves concerning the aggressive action of the
U.S.A. against the Vietnamese people? ‘
ANSWER: In the first place, what is important is the fact that the majority of our population is against this policy. The opposition against the aggressive war in Vietnam is manifested
in various ways. We have a very large and active movement against this war, Some say that this movement is ‘without precedent in
the modern history of the country because it is a movement by
the masses directed against their own government. This movement must defeat numerous ideological difficulties, In spite of
all this, the movement comprises different groups of the population, The largest movement is due to the fear of a-nuclear war, as well as the pacifist sentiments or of revolt against ‘the unjustice of
4
᾿ é
this aggression, Together with millions of people in this antiwar struggle participate many churches and religious leaders, In full development are also the anti-imperialist forces which side with the party in demanding the complete withdrawal of the American forces from Vietnam, declaring ‘themselves for the respect of the right of self-determination and independence. To this mass movement against the war must also be added the differences of opinion among the government leaders, There are also many groups within this dominant class which consider the aggression as being disastrous., The differences of opinion: within the dominant group explains why many senators and prominent personalities, as well as many newspapers in their editorial commentaries, criticize the government policy. In brief, in view of the war escalation we must say that the Situation in the U.S.A. is not at all inert from a political point of view. There exists in our country an antiwar movement which has a great importance for the world's anti-imperialist forces,
President JOHNSON uses demagogic phrases referring. to the peaceful solution of the conflict by negotiations; there are also certain elements in existence which imagine that the negotiations can force the American imperialism to withdraw, In spite of the fact that the majority of our people is against aggression and in spite of the fact that a division exists within the government, this does not necessarily mean that in the present set of circumstances existing in ‘the, United States the movement .could be transformed into a real political force,
The thing which is needed more than anything else is a strong world anti-imperialist movement, In this unity of the anti-imperilalist forces resides the possibility not only of curtailing aggression in Vietnam,, but also to establish new guarantees against any aggression. The communists of the U.S.A, and the anti-imperialist forces of our country appreciate the heroic fight of the Vietnamese people and their contribution which they render to the fight against imperialist,
QUESTION: What actions, according to your opinion, could contribute under the present conditions to the normalization of international relations and the creation of a climate of peace and security in the world?
"- τ 1
ANSWER: It is evident that the main obstacle to the normalization
of the world relations is the aggressive American imperialist policy. To this we must also add that on the European scene, Western Germany, under the tutelage of American imperialisn, remains an obstacle to the establishment of peaceful relations in Europe. I don't see this as a lost situation because based on what I have said so far it appears clearly that the American imperialism can be crushed, restrained. There are in existence the progressive forces which comprise the working class, the anti-imperialist forces, the anticolonial forces and the socialist forces, ‘The unity of all these forces is necessary to be developed in accordance with the relations of our era.
It may be necessary that a new, long road be built for the realization of this unity; however, in order to crush the imperialist forces ‘the ‘unity of the progressive forces is indispensable,
The true sense of the fight for peaceful coexistence is to mobilize the progressive forces to crush the imperialist
forces. The unity is the main fighting weapon on the inter-
national scene, In this sense the world socialist system is a decisive factor. The policy of the socialist countries which
find themselves beside the anti-imperialist forces, together
with the nations in: their fight for the normalization of relations among states, makes the socialist country a bastion of progress and anti-imperialism and peace,
In conclusion, I wish to say that it is a great honor for me to have this interview granted to such a press organ: as the newspaper "Scintela."' I know that this newspaper plays an important role due to its revolutionary tradition from which
it derives its force. Because of this I am'happy that I had
the privilege to address myself through its intermediary to the millions of readers of your country;

Union (CPSU): y Nikolai Vladimirovic \Mostovets οἱ y
As of September, 1966, Nikolai vik, mirovich Mostovets held the position as Head of the North.and-South American Section, International Department,-Central-Com- mittees’CPSUS “In"his capacity as Section Chief, Mostovets ixe“the-responsibility for all CPs and countries in North and South America with ‘the exceptions of Canada, which is assigned to the section dealing with Great Britain and’ the British Commonwealth nations, and Cuba, which is now handled separately because of its status as a socialist state,
Mostovets speaks English fluently and has traveled to the United States on at least one occasion, He is a man of about 5'8"-9" ‘tall, is of medium build, and weighs about 160 pounds. He is probably in his late -forties or early fifties. His hair is brown and thinning and ‘he has a definite widow's peak. He wears glasses. Mostovets is married and lives in an apartment development in Moscow, USSR, which was specifically constructed for the housing of Central Committee, CPSU, workers.

North and South American Section, he was acting as a trans- lator. He is fluent in both the English and Spanish languages and speaks a number of other languages. ‘He has always ‘been highly regarded as a translator and, as an indication of this, it is known that he acted as official translator for Fidel Castro of Cuba when that individual visited the USSR in approximately 1963, He also has worked as a translator with leading CP, USA representatives like Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, former Chairman, CP, USA, now deceased, and the present Chairman of the CP, USA, Henry Winston, when such individuals were visitors to the USSR.
During the past several years, Mikhailov has taken
a more important role in the North and South American Section as an activist and has had fewer translator assignments.
His concentration and work have now turned to a study of United States trade union and labor matters, and hewas working to become an expert on United States affairs in general. While it has not been so stated specifically, it .appears that Mikhailov has now taken over many of the duties that were

He is rather handsome and dresses quite well. For a long time Mikhailov attempted to leave the impression that he was single, but this is not so. His wife apparently works for a Soviet Government tour agency and in September, 1966, she was leading a tour group of Soviet citizens in a visit to Hungary.
As of ‘October, 1966, it was reported that Mikhailov ‘was contemplating a visit to the United States in the immediate future, possibly November, 1966, as a member of a delegation of an undisclosed nature. .- However, as of November, 1966, no information had been 'received that Mikhailov had yet arrived ‘in. the United States,

Re NY airtel, 11/15/66, page 2, paragraph one,
Said airtel reflects that the Soviets had advised they had a message for GUS HALL at the USSR Delegation to the UN in New York City and desired that JAMES JACKSON or ARNOLD JOHNSON go to the Delegation between November 16th and 18th to pick up the same.
Regarding the above, ARNOLD JOHNSON stated that he had gone to the Soviet UN Mission, where there was read to him a Soviet donument, the contents of which was being furnished to the leaders of the important Communist countries in the world. He stated that the Soviets had prepared this
decument in order that there might be no distortion-af the facts regarding the recent meeting batwaen, Soviet Foreign Minister GROMYKO and President JOHNSON, The document
reflected thatthe conversation between GROMYKO and President JOHNSON concerned the Vietnam situation and that the Soviets had suggested that the United States negotiate with the Vietnamese and possibly with the Chinese for settlement of the war, GROMYKO had suggested the cessation of bombing by the United States, and discussed the proliferation of nuclear weapons, The conversation also concerned improvement of relations between the USSR and USA, The document further contained a condemnation of false rumors circulated about such meetings as that between GROMYKO and President JOHNSON, According to ARNOLD JOHNSON, the Soviets at the UN ‘Mission had stated that it had been anticipated that the "New York Times" would distort the facts concerning the meeting between GROMYKO and President JOHNSON and that they desired that
before such distortion might be made, CP leaders throughout the world know the true facts“conterning the said meeting. ARNOLD JOHNSON also advised CG 582h-S# that the US Administration's policy of ignoring the various so-called peace operations of the Party and liberal groups was causing great concern, It was felt that by ignoring these peace operations, the Government was placing peace organizations An the embarrassing position of receiving no publicity

concerning their activities, This was considered 8 natter of grave concern. |
CG 5824~St* advised that he was in telephonic communication with NORMAN FREED, Canadian CP functionary. PREED advised CG 582)-S* that he would come to New York, probably on 12/8/66, to confer with the CPUSA regarding the proposed CPUSA'- Canadian CP joint leadership school that will be held in the near future in Canada.

(FIRST NAME UNKNOWN) WESTOR, STEPFATHER OF DOROTHY HEALEY
n
When the Communist Party, USA (CP, USA) delegation, headed by GUS HALL, General Secretary, CP, USA, was in Sofia, Bulgaria, in early October, 1966, a telephone call was received from TODOR L, SCHAAPCHIEFF, also known as (first nane unknown) NESTOR, the stepfather of DOROTHY HEALEY, head of the Southern California District of the CP, SCHAAPCHIEFF, who has been in Bulgaria for a numher of years, requested that HALL visit Him ih“order that he might discuss a problem. HALL, however, did not want to become involved and therefore . ARNOLD JOHNSON made contact with SCHAAPCHIEFF, Later, JOHNSON reported that all SCHAAPCHIEFF desired was that HALL and the ΟΡ, USA delegation use their influence with the Bulgarian CP to attempt to arrange that he get an apartment or a room for his own personal use. For the past many years SCHAAPCHIEFF has been sharing living quarters with a number of other indi- viduals and is now getting old and desired his own personal quarters, This request was relayed to the Bulgarian CP but subseguent results of this request are unknown,

Jn September, 1966, John Yafiades and his wite Evelyn and George Wheeler and his wife Eleanor, 211 former Americans now residing and working in Prague, Czechoslovakia, paid dues to a representative of the Communist Party, USA (CP, USA) who was then in that city, The dues paid by these individuals totaled 500 Czech koruny and represented CP, USA dues for the Vafiades' through December, 1966, and for the Wheelers through October, 1966. Inasmuch as these dues pay-~ ments were received in Czech koruny, they could not be freely exchanged into United States currency in Prague and the money was, therefore, spent to purchase items in Prague for Gus Hall, General Secretary, CP, USA, and his wife Elizabeth, who were also in that city at the time,

‘Who Are the Perpetrators of the Recife Attack?
The growing difficulties of the clique which has ‘seized. power to -hold.on to it and to implement its anti~- national and antipopular policies are causing it to step up ita reaction by violently suppressing popular and:student move~ ments, by attacking progressive ‘Catholic circles-and by trying - on the other hand « to give the dictatorship a semblance of jay through’ a. so-called Constitutional Charter and new Fascist
aws.
In an attempt to win these objectives, all efforts ‘ave made to.initiate.a wave of anticommunist hysteria. The bombs-at Recife last June are an episode of these coarse pro~ vocations, πα echo of the explosion at Guararapos Airport (the place of the bombing) had hardly died out when-Mr. Costa e ‘Silva, candidate to the dictatorship (who by a miracle at the | very last minute decided. to-go by automobile instead of by plane), stated to the press, as if he were gifted with soothsaying powers: 'The- communists are the masterminds and organizers of the bombing. ‘They have an interest in creating an atuosphere of national agitation." Juracy Magalhaes, a well-known agent of American imperialism, stated with his habitual cynicism: "I ‘believe that the explosions are the implementation of the decisions reached at the Tricontinental: Conference of Havana. The communists have no hopes to win successes in their struggle for power. 80, they carry out individual attenpts and terroriat acts." The very game words were used, throughout the country, by the various gorilla generals who occupy more or less prominent positions, by the "politicos" of the-Armando ‘Falcao and Pedro Adleixo ilk and by the many scribes hired out to. the dictatorship.,
Ag revolutionaries who struggle determinedly for complete national emancipation and.social progress and as revolutionaries who, from the very first moment, have waged. Ἢ battle to the last blood again&t the reactionary and pro- imperialist military dictatorship of the plotting generals, the communists have never resorted to individual attacks, a’uethod which they oppose and have always fought against; In a recent "Political Resolution,” the Central Committee of our Party stated: "The process of iaolation and defeat of dictatorship. is intimately bound with the development of the mass atruggie and unity of action of the forces.contrary to dictatorship.” 7
Φ : Φ
᾿ Now, individual terrorism is incompatible with the mass
movenent and entails, as its political consequence, ‘a division of
the working class.and the formation ΟΣ αὶ climate favorable
to anticommunian which makes the action.of communists axong
the masses of workers at large more difficult. As great ‘Lenin
‘taught us as early as.1902, individual terrorism “has no |
relation to the work asong the masses and for the masses and
' does nothing for the contact with the masses," "it diverts. our
organisational forces....from their difficult task of organizing
‘a revélutionary workers’ party," and “is nothing more than an
individual combat method completely condemned’ by historical
experience." | '
τας ‘One thing is οὐχίδιη: In‘our country, such terrorist “acta have never been perpetrated‘ by political organizations whose ‘ranks and: files. come from the people, or by. left-oriented political organizations. On the.contrary, these terrorist acts have always had their origin in rightist organizations, such as the: integralists. (Brazilian Fascists) and, more recently, the | pro-Lacerda clique, the colonels of the “hard line" (extrene: right). and.MAC (Anticoumunist ‘Movenent led by Admiral Heck). , Furthermore; at Recife a.certain Police Commiasioner ia: very well ᾿ ‘known as.a.specialist in setting up bombing attacks. And'if ve | bear in mind' international historic experience, suffice it to:
recall that it was the crine of arson at the Reichstag, attributed: ‘by Goebbels to: the communists but in reality prepared and provoked by the Nazis, which was used to ‘trigger off savage repressions ‘againat the proletarian and-democratic forces of Germany. —
In. spite.of their sinister provocation, ‘the killers of liberty were. unable to obtain the desired results. The first ἃ ‘question which flashed in the minds of millions was: Who profits from the crime?’ The answer which sooner or later became apparent to-nearly all.of them was always the: sane; Those who are ‘interested: in. continuing the present situation; those who strive to continue keeping the. Brazilian people in handcuffs; those ‘who oppose labor union freedom; those who repressed ‘the UNZ (National Student Union) Congress; those who prohibit the. dissenination of the manifesto by the: Bishops of the North Kast; those who keep ‘Gregorio Beserrain gail ‘(he is the ex-comaunist Deputy and : peasant leader who has been in prison since April, 1964.) On the other hand, this is the reagon why the bomb: was immediately called ᾿ dn. Recife: the Murici bomb (he is the military commander of the , region) and in the reat of Brazil, the bomb of the dictatorship, Castelo Branco's bomb.
‘ ᾿ Φ ᾿ ἢ é
The Novenber 15 Elections
Despite the doubts which still persiat on the subject of the elections.of the Municipal Councils and of ‘the Senate, a number of objective. factors: have: thus far forced the dictatorship to respect the holding of the elections scheduled: for Novenber 15.
Even though the restrictions imposed.on the choice: of candidates are great, the Communist Party, which takes part in the.popular struggle for the holding of direct elections, is ' working hard to convince the electorate of ‘the need το use the ballot to inflict αὶ defeat upon the government, by stating ite opposition to. the candidates sponsored by ARENA, the political organization ‘which embodies the dictatorship.
The organizations.of the Communist Party in the various ‘States. and Communes have entered into.certain agreenents with the representatives. of MDB (Braxilian Democratic Movement), ‘a political “opposition” organization created and tolerated by the dictatorship which includes ‘pojitical personalities who enjoy popular prestige and whose candidates, whether. conmunists or not, deserve the vote of democratically-minded people and'patriots.
ἐι
The communists, while indicating the candidates: of their choice accepted by KRlectoral Justice, .call, at the sane time, on the people. to cast their ballots:only for those candidates who really take a.position against the dictatorship and-state that they are ready to. struggle for a repeal of the dictatorship's . ‘yeactionary decrees and for the re-establishment of freedous, including the liberation of political prisoners and a. general amnesty,
The Communist Party is .convinced that the elections, despite the restrictions which have been imposed upon them, can make a contribution to the advancement of unity and the organizing ‘of the forces which oppose the dictatorship.
‘New Contradictions Undermine the Dictatorship
‘The list of generals: who took part in the"coup d'etat" and who.are withdrawing their support,..turning against the ' dictatorship in power, is becoming longer and Ἰοησοχ., ‘Nevertheless, the recent gesture of General Amauri Kruel, the last general to become disenchanted with the “democratic revolution," ἀπ of an importance which is by.far greater than that

of any previous cases, He is the Commander of the Second Aray, whose headquarters is in ‘Sao Paulo, The general’ is & very close friend of Ademar de Barros, former Governor :of the State, so much so. that their relationship is very much like a con=-
_-@piracy. The general enjoys tremendous nilitary. prestige
within the three ‘branches of the Armed Forces. His. support
ι ΠΟΥ the coup: dtetat-a few hotts before it was staged:was, without
sguaepbbpdnstromentak.in “.qvuatanteeing “ts success.
, General Kruel's latest position against the ruling clique places the government on the-defensive, It will certainly ve its repercussions ‘within the Araed Forces, It constitutes ἃ valuable reinforcement forithe activities of the opposition, At any rate, it is undeniable that it adds a. further element of instability to the shaky foundation of the government,
However, this is not all. In his thirst for power,
Castelo-Branco is multiplying. his :arbitrary acts which alienate
‘everybody, including his closest associates. A recent example is the further curtailment of the few’prerogatives which Par ‘Jiament had left. The role of Parlianent is being further , ‘reduced in. matters concerning the Budget and in matters concerning. ‘the promulgation of a New Conatitution. On the other hand, an
’ electoral process from our shaneful past, which everybody condemns,
is being revived and officially imposed,
" An influencial paper, completely above suspicion, the “Journal of Brazil," which has been delving into the present economic policies, summarizing the ills of the country and the general ‘state of apprehension, states: “All. important segments of national life do not hide their displeasure with the errors. which have been committed." It.goes on to predict: "In a climate of political excitement, which. includes:'the active presence of soldiera, the latest chain of events can produce sparks capable of igniting an explosion in an atnosphere ispregnated with gun
a om "
powder," (Journal of Braxil, August 11, 1966), This 15 an opinion
which cannot be. disregarded, The fact remains that the Castelo Branco Government despite its enormous unpopularity, will not collapse by itsel?.. The only means whereby this can. be done is by taking advantage.of the contradictions which weaken it, by working for and’with the popular πόποι at large, by organizing them and by preparing then for the struggle in conjunction with all the forces of the opposition, This is the only way the dictatorship can be defeated and replaced with a democratic government.
The “Wide Front"
In. the. face of the. governnent’s growling unpopularity. _amiiithe weakening. of its grassroot support, the country witnesses the birth of δὴ attempt to form ἃ wide front against the ‘dictatorship, a front which bas. been aptly nazed "Wide Front.” Its purpose is to group the forces headed by Juseelino Kubitschek, Joao Goulart and, possibly,.Janio Quadros ~ the: three former ‘Presidents of the Republic who were deprived of their political rights. The front also includes the forces of Carlos Lacerda and the left. ; '
‘Several meetings have. taken place and preliminary -‘agreenents have been made, which made it possible to send emiasaries . to. Lisbon and: Montevideo to ask for instructions from Kubitschek and Goulart, ᾿
A front of this kind, which is made up of heterogeneous and: formerly antagonistic forces cannot be put together without difficulties and.occagional registance,. Many, look at Lacerda. with distrust ‘andthe ex-Presidents, without refusing, hig:company, have refused his:appeal to use arms and. his quest for the leadership of the movement,: a!
Nevertheless, all these forces: see: that the moment has cone for them to close ranks in order to win their goal: the ‘redemocratiszation of the country, From this: standpoint, the ΝΞ attempt - or other attenpts which are likely to follow-one another «~~ stands a chance of success,.
On this subject, the position of the communists is quite clear and is nothing new. They do not fefuse the dialogue and even the alliance with all forces that are desirous to give back to the nation ita.lost liberties. It goes without saying that the communists do not cherish any illusions and evaluate the various forces at their proper value,. What is important is for this wide front to be provided: with.a good program and to be able ito: depend on the support of. the working masses, It is in this direction that the communists are bending their efforts.

The people and all opposition forces, including many religious spokesmen, have spared no efforts to express their support and admiration for the action of thege young people who, with boldness and determination, interpret the sentiments of the overwhelming majority of the nation, ,
The Church and the Dictatorship
fs the Political Resolution of the Central Committee points out, an ever-increasing number of Churchnen are joining the struggle againat the dictatorship and the starvation and oppression policies which are being enforced against the people,
_ In mid~June, following the “Regional Meeting at Recife," which was attended by two Archbishops, a statement was issued over their signatures denouncing the humiliating situation of the workers in the cities and in the country as well as the economic
and social inequities affecting all workerg, The Commander of the
10th Military Region prohibited the publication of the statement and launched a defamation campaign against Don Helder Camara, Arch* bishop of Olinda and Recife, as the principal signer of the statenent, Two secret circulars and a memorandum were sent out
to the priests of the North-Zast to accuse the prelate of συ»
- yersion; demagoguery and aiding and abetting the action of the
left. The goal of this “military offensive" wags to set the priests against their superior, as a move within the campaign aimed at
declaring Don Helder “persona non gratia” in order to induce the
Vatican to replace him, as was the case with Don Carmello Motta Vasconcelios, Archbishop of Sao Paulo, These shenanigans are
publicly repudgated, with indignation, by the priests who call
them slanderous and reaffirm their fidelity and submission to their leader,
* Φ |
Needless to say, most of the great religious and civilian personalities and public opinion. make no mystery of their sympathy with and:support for a-dignitary of the Church: who has been. so unjustly vilified..
This position of the clergy is impregnated with great ‘political importance. It widens and-strengthens the united front of the forces whose goal is ~ with the support of tho masseg ~ to rout the dictatorship in power.
Another Assassination
‘A few weeks ago, a body was found afloat in the. waters of the Bauiba River (which flows in the outskirts of Porto Alegre, ‘Rio Grande do Sul).: The body..was in an advanced. stage of -putrefaction, His hands were tied behind his back. it ms Manuel Raymundo Sosres, ἃ sergeant ousted from the Army after the coup:-d'etat on a charge of “subversion.” As he was looking for 8 job, he was lured into a police trap, taken to prison and ‘tortured savagely. Blinded in one eye, Manuel Raymundo was kept : completely “incommunicado” in a horrible dungeon. whence he was taken to-an island-prison where he languished for a certain: period -of time. ‘Ee was brought to the headquarters.of the political -police where ‘the hangnen...(two lines illegible)...including 4. oo (illegible)...a torture" which features holding the prisoner's head under water for considerable lengths of time. According to'a statement by the police, the prisoner was assassinated during one of these torture sessions and :his body wae. immediately thrown into the river, '
In.& touching ‘letter addressed to: hia wife, Manuel Raymundo predicted his death and.stated that he was ready to ‘endure all kinds of tortures, rather than inform.on his comrades. “The nanes of my friends," he said, "are the names of 75 million Brazilians." He ended. his letter with these words: “Down with the dictatorship. Long live liberty.. The people will win."
This latest crime of the dictatorship, but .one of: many, caused most vehement indignation and. horrified condemnation. ‘The ‘people worship. the memory of Manuel Raymundo Soares who has. ‘peen. fondly renamed the "Martyred. Sergeant."
New Morals '
| Dictator Castelo Branco is fond of stating that his government has introduced a sound adainistrative philosophy and new norals into public life.. The. following is an outstanding example:
Mrs, Eni Talyah Tosea,. aged 33, was held: for a long time in a horrible dungeon ‘of the jailhouse run by. the political police.of Rio Grande do Sul. She became pregnant and contacted 8. veneral disease ‘after she was raped by a group of policemen.
"Z may expose myself to public execration, but Σ᾿ λα deternined'to prove the savagery of my jJ¢iluen,":-Mra. Fai Tosea: declared’ toa Commission of Parliament. One night, after she had been beaten into utter exhaustion and: defenseleosaneas, several ‘policemen. indugged in gratifying their bestial sexual instincts. |
‘When she was released from prison last August, she was told that she had: been arrested as a warning, inasmuch.as she was an accomplice 215 ἃ terrorist plan... In order to buy her silence and make up for the "error," she was asked to collaborate with the police and offered 350,000 crugzeiros a month for her collaboration,
. Her release did not put an end to her tribulations, She was the victim of a terrible personal tragedy. Pregnant fron a.monster, she felt that she should have an abortion... .but hesitated to destroy the life she felt pulsating in her‘womb. Her maternal sentiment won the day. "I have decided.to have my baby. ‘as if the -baby were all nine and conceived under: normal circum atances, .
‘The new morals of the present government needs no better certificate.

Ε
A source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, in October, 1966, advised that as of September, 1966, Vitaly G, Korianov was reportedly hospitalized and — probably would not be returning to his position as a Deputy Head of the International Department, Central Committee, Communist Party of the Soviet. Union (CPSU). It was indicated at that time that Korianov would probably.be reassigned to the International Commission of “Pravda,” official organ of the Central Committee, CPSU, when he returned to work and would concentrate on matters relating to the United States.
In connection with the above, "Pravda," on 'November 4, 1966, carried.an extensive article captioned, "Unification or Widening of the Split." The author of this article was . Shown as: Vitali G. Korionov, who was described as a "'Pravda' political commentator.'” An English. translation of this article appeared in Part II, Volume XII, N 260 (3410) Friday, November 4, 1966, Edition of the "Daily Review," published by Novosti Press Agency (APN), Puskin Square, Moscow, USSR.
